AEI’s Michael Greve has bad news for those who look forward to the Supreme Court striking down the individual mandate provision of ObamaCare. Greve argues that with the decision not to hear a case about Congressional authority means that the Court is just not interested in enforcing the structure of the constitution: “The cert denial bodes ill—very ill—for any lawsuit predicated on the notion, or hope, that the Supreme Court will one of these days enforce the structure of the Constitution. The Constitution’s Compact Clause categorically prohibits any agreement among the states without congressional consent, let alone an agreement among all states to create monopoly profits and to share them with tobacco peddlers. The plaintiffs’ case was sufficiently compelling to draw vocal support from constitutional luminaries across the political spectrum—from Michael McConnell to Kathleen Sullivan; from Alan Morrison to Richard Epstein, as well as a group of prominent antitrust experts. And yet, in the teeth of the clear constitutional language, and in a political environment that, shall we say, suggests heightened public concern over crony capitalism, government collusion, and the erosion of constitutional norms, the justices couldn’t be bothered….They’re too busy adjudicating the constitutionally mandated distance between funerals and obnoxious protesters.
